THE GREAT STRIKE.
Work Moving Smoothly on the Piers
With Plenty of Men.
NEW YORK Feb. II

NEW YORK, Feb, IL.
Along the river front today there was no
indication that any difficulty existed between
the longshoremen and railroad and steamship
lines. At railroad piers the loading of cars
on big boats was being carried on with accus-
toned regularity, and at coastwlse and south
ern port steamship companies all evidences
of the recent struggle were obli,erated. The
steamer City of Atlanta, of the Glide line,
was discharged Yesterday. The superintend-
ent said that the work of discharging her had
been done quicker than old hands would have
accomplished 1t. The police report that the
strikers remain in their houses now and
cause no trouble and that everything is as
quiet as before the strike.
Along North river front the men are work
ing we'll. Large amounts OF freight are
coming in and is easily handled. Many OF
the old hands are at work and many sppli-
cants for work have been received from the
strikers.
In Brooklyn the situation remains un-
changed, but there is no open trouble.

BAGS OFCOIN.
The System Of Counting and Weighing tn
Redeemed Trade Dollars.

The System of Counting and Weighing the
Redeemed Trade Dollars.
PHILADELPHIA; March l6.-The re-
demption of trade dollars at the office OF
United States Assistant Treasurer Page,
involves heavy additional task to the
already large amount of work on the
shoulders of the clerks and sub-otficials in
that office.
The office received A., 900 trade dollars
yesterday, the regulations not permitting
more at one time than the force OF men
can count and weigh in one day. Assis-
tant Treasurer Page now has on hand
$3.50, 600 of the deprecated coin. Yesterday
an order reached him to send $1,000, 900
to the Mint to be recoined. The money
will be transported in large express
wagon, and not more than $l00, 900 can be
taken in one day.
The reception and the counting and
weighing of the coin are all done accord
ing to system. On the second floor nj
the rear end of the custom house, two
apartments are enclosed wich stout, heavy
partitions, and behind one oi these, en-
tircly enclosed. the coin il counted by
ladies, and behind another il IL weighed
by the cashiers assistants. A large pair
of delicately adjusted balances brought
from the Mint, have been placed on Ia
BILE, and the coins are weighed In bags OF
81 900 at time. There is always u slight
variation, amounting 10 some few grains,
between one bag and another. That is,
one bag OF 81, 600 will not weigh the same
As another. But the variation is so slight
that only the most nicely adjusted instru-
ment could detect it, The standard
weight of bay of 81 900 is 700 ounces
and ~ grains, or about 90 pounds. 1t
makes bulk of about inches thick aud
about foot in length.
After being weighed the coin is tied up
in the bag and tag fastened 10 il with
scaling wax. The tag il marked Remit
tance nf trade dollars" with the number of
deposit, name of dcpositor, the number Of
the coins, and the weight in ounces and
grains. The sealing wax is put on the tag
and the knot to prevent the bag being
opened without detection. The only way
to get money out of il would he 10 cut il.
The bags are then stitched up and stored
away in q vault, where there are from
$40, OOO, 900 to S25, 600, 000 in gold, silver
and currency stored, ready 10 be sent TO
the Mint.
The express wagon could not carry more
than about SO 900 at time, so that IL is
necessary to go back and forth TO the Mint
five different times in a day 90 get SlOO,-
600 there. Each time watchmen and clerks
accompany the wagon as n guard, and
receipt is given at the Mint after the money
is counted and weighed there. The work
of counting the coin becomes very monoto-
nous in time The lady clerks who do
large share of il 90 over thousands OF coins
in day until their fingers get tired han
dlinU n
